"White House press briefing now takes place on Fox News

"Grisham has claimed her communications strategy -- giving interviews to the president’s favorite Fox News sycophants and grousing about the same Trump-centric grievances over and over again -- “seems to be working right now.” And her appearances on friendly Fox shows are increasing as the president becomes imperiled by the escalating House impeachment inquiry. By shutting out the vast majority of cable networks and broadcast news to instead have friendly sit-downs with Trump’s favorite former and current Fox News hosts, Grisham’s media strategy seems aimed at reassuring the president while evading hard questions about a White House in perpetual crisis."

Not surprising. Why answer legit questions when faux news will lob you softballs.

“Dear Leader is winning victory after victory for the righteous cause, yet he is hounded by the godless, socialist, immigrant-loving Democrat Party.”

The minority still rules, and they have a fully weaponized media game at their fingertips.
